Donations and Costs

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Tue Jun 08, 2004 7:44 pm **Post subject:** Donations and Costs

Hello,
The intention of this page is to be as honest and open about the costs of running the site, and to promote ways in which you can help out the community. For the sake of anonymity, we do not currently operate a policy of advertising those who donate but will do so if requested. It is greatly appreciated, but your security is valued above everything.

The summary below is the running totals for the operation of the site.

Running Costs (Total)

GBP
Payments (Hosting):	£7,863.49
Payments (Domain):	£198.86
Donations:	£2,481.45
Merchandise:	£1.52
Affiliates	£932.24
Balance:	-£4,647.14

No More Hosting Payments Until: 04/07/23
No More Domain Payments Until: 31/03/24

* Payout comes only when certain amount is received

* Ads no longer draw revenue, we got banned.

If net + ever occurs, it of course goes back for future hosting.

Donations can be made to via the frontpage if you sign in with your forum details (don't forget to drop your name/screenname in with the donation so I know who's donated

). I'll pm/e-mail you and update this page every time I get a message about a donation, providing paypal sends one.

Paypal, currency conversion, etc. fees are added in the tally. They take a cut of the donations unfortunately and are the only company making profit from piracy here.

Many thanks,
:beerchug:

Apologies for not updating, two events...

21/01/2009 - Spreadshirt affiliates payout! Thanks for anyone who bought something through spreadshirt, you've helped to pay hosting costs
28/01/2009 - Hosting Payment :cry:

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Tue May 19, 2009 12:19 am **Post subject:** Re: Donations and Costs

19/05/2009 - Updated stats to add in several months of hosting. We've not had a payout for google ads but its just jumped over the payment threshold so there'll be ~£60 added, meaning hosting is £250 in the red.

spudthedestroyer · **Posted:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 10:55 pm **Post subject:** Re: Donations and Costs

06/07/2009 - Adsense payout added

06/07/2009 - Hosting payments added :cry:

27/05/2009	£25.99	£0.00	1	11/06/2009	11/07/2009
19/06/2009	£22.99	£0.00	1	19/06/2009	19/07/2009
28/06/2009	£68.97	£0.00	3	19/07/2009	19/10/2009

27/05/2009 - payment I am currently in the process of disputing, however initially paypal has been deeply unhelpful and said that default on half a month of hosting is something they can't do anything about. I've called bullshit on that and demanded they actually attempt to contact the seller as he won't reply.

10/12/2010 - Well I was updating the records for the past year and it seems we are actually in green thanks mostly to our server move last year. We got allocated a ip used for a pr0n site and they never updated their dns records
http://www.zuleidy.com
It actually still redirects to us :lol:

Anyway, unless i've lost some invoices, we are actually £128 in the green (black?)

30/09/2012 - Updated all records for the past two years... sorry for falling behind with the updates but I generally just paid up. As a few people asked at fileheaven, which is now hosted at fileheaven.dead-donkey.com

To those that donated over the past years: thanks for contributing, its really appreciated.
